Who can install a gas boiler?

Checking Gas Safe registration

To verify your that your installer is on the Gas Safe Register:

• Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card (check photo, ID number, and qualifications)

• Never hire a boiler installer if you can’t confirm their registration

Disadvantages of gas boilers

• Gas leaks carry risk — install a carbon monoxide detector for safety
• They require annual servicing
